Falafel balls
Not Kosher for Passover
Not kosher for Passover.
Explanation: Falafel balls are typically made from chickpeas, which are considered kitniyot. Ashkenazi Jews traditionally avoid kitniyot during Passover, while some Sephardic Jews may permit them. However, to be universally kosher for Passover, falafel would need to be free of kitniyot and any chametz.
